I just have a quick lua question. Is there anyway to check a variable's type? Like int, string, bool?
I've been trying to find a way to do this but haven't had any luck. Hopefully this is just quick and simple!
Help is appreciated!
Thanks! :D/>

you can just do a simple

 vType = type(var) -- using var as your variable
